Weekly Show Prep – 8/6/18

A series of quick questions can spice up the monotony of your show! I suggest writing out a quick questions each day in your show prep. Use these for people calling in with questions, requests or comments. Ask them a quick question and save the call. Once you get 3-4 solid answers, you can use your listener’s audio to setup a call in discussion. Try it after you’ve had a heavy topic on the air for the last 20 min to change up the texture of your show!

Which film was better than it’s book? (Top 3?)

What’s the longest line you ever waited in?

We love to tell stories and we love to ask questions. What you’ll realize is when you ask questions and you actually listen to the answers – you can do follow up questions to go deeper. That’s how you get to the real stories!
